"The title for this exhibit bespeaks long held family secrets and covert information withheld from your youthful ears until you were 'old enough'. You may not have been privy to the stories because they were related when you had long since fallen asleep, or they were told in your presence but you could not decipher them for they were spoken in the tongue of your grandparents and you had only a faint knowledge of a word here and there." - Norman B. Colp, Curator of Exhibits, Center for Book Arts
